Subject: Remove support for HOSTALIASES from the resolver.  This "open and
 parse any file indicated by an environment variable" feature inside the
 resolver is incompatible with what pledge "dns" is trying to be.  It is a
 misguided "feature" added way back in history which almost noone uses, but
 everyone has to assume the risk from. ok eric florian kettenis
